Only You

Red Carpet # 81

I am not what one would call a fashionista though I do believe my love of the visual arts makes me want to dress better as well as appreciate fashion, add this to the fact that I don’t hink I’ve missed a telecast of the Academy Awards since I was a child and of course I have an opinion on clothes that get worn on the red carpet.

Here’s my favorites of 2009.

Amy Adams: At first I wasn’t sure I was a fan of this dress, but the more I look at it the more I love it. It’s bubbly, youthful and everything you’d expect out of a young classy actress.

Daniel Craig: I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a few boys that did a good job, Daniel Craig is one of them. Granted for James Bond to wear a tux well is a no brainer, but Craig still looks good in the completely classic ensemble.

Diane Lane: Thought Lane was on the arm of a nominee and not a nominee herself she was dressed well. Black is always in and this dress is wonderful for a woman of almost any age. I hope to look half as good when I finally get to the Oscars.

Evan Rachel Wood: While she didn’t garner any acclaim for her phenomenal performance in The Wrestler but I think this dress deserves some praise.

Kate Winslet: I loved this dress though I don’t think I could pull it off. The color, texture and asymmetry are to die for and doesn’t it look great with Oscar?

Marissa Tomei: I couldn’t wear this as I would trip constantly but the design and texture of this dress is beautiful. Asymmetry was definitely the way to go this year.

Mickey Rourke: What I love about this is that it’s definitely 100% Mickey but he still manages to look Oscar appropriate. If Mickey had tried to pull off a traditional tux it just wouldn’t have worked.

Meryl Streep: I don’t know if a dress like this would have worked on anyone else but I think it is very beautiful on Meryl.

Natalie Portman: I hate pink, but I don’t hate this pink. Portman looks like Audrey Hepburn for today and I am sure this gown will be remembered.

Robert Downey Jr.: I’m not sure what’s better, the fact that this contemporary, clean tux looks so good on RDj, or that he and his wife are obviously enjoying themselves.

Taraji P Henson: This is a beautiful dress even though I keep thinking it looks like chique mummy wrappings, but what I really love is that Taraji accessorizes with a red hand bag.

Control

Times are scary right now. People are losing their jobs, people can't get jobs. It's very important to remember that above all else

God is in control.

Look, we're both afraid we might kill the baby. That's a given, but we made an agreement this week; Monday to Friday I try not to kill him, Saturday and Sunday you try not to kill him.

Day 365

I am single. I am aware I am single. I am fine with this 364 days a year. The problem is that the 365th day is a doozy – Valentine’s Day.

Every Valentine’s Day companies suddenly force romanticism/coupleness on the world and ht entire world realizes that you are single and wants to do everything it can to make you feel awkward for it.

In elementary school you are forced to buy Valentine’s for your entire class. By the time you hit junior high the obligatory Valentine’s dance starts, and when you finally get to high school suddenly you have candy grams you can sent to class, along with everything else. Once I hit retail it became obvious that while no one cares what you do on your own 364 days of the year on Valentine’s Day suddenly people start making comments about what plans you have or God forbid if you work in retail (and are working that day) people start to lament to you about why you aren’t going out after work. When I hit college I not only got surrounded by Valentine’s memorabilia but suddenly even the Vagina Monologues came into the mix.

It’s gotten to the point that it invades every media outlet; there are stories on the news, suggestions on magazines, endless romantic movies, and special Valentine’s packaging on everything from snacks to DVD’s.

I just can’t hide from Valentine’s Day, even in my own home. When I logged onto my internet tonight I quickly discovered that not only did google have a special Valentine logo, but AOL completely changed its color scheme for the day of love.
I don’t know what bothers me more- that Valentine’s Day is invading my home or that I am surrounded by pink.

Movies I need to see

As usual I am in a pretty good place in regards to the amount of Oscar nominated movies I've seen already. However, there are still a few that I need to check out before the 22nd rolls around.

• The Visitor (best actor for Richard Jenkins)
  
• Doubt (three acting awards)
  
• Changling (best actress for Angelina Jolie)
  
• Frozen River
  
• Bolt (Wall*E has this category locked so I really feel no need to see this)
  
• The Duchess (this has been described as a bodice ripper and I feel no need to see it - it's only up for technical awards any way)
  
• Frost/Nixon
  
• Milk
  
• The Reader
  
• Happy-Go-Lucky
  
• All the foreign films, short films and documentary films...
  

I was in a better position last year, but I was more excited about the nominees last year...

[text in red are movies I have seen since writing this post]
